Do the priests have to live with the anguish of having committed a mortal sin, or is it only the nuns who have to live with this upon their souls?

Here is a PBS article about nuns having been raped by priests, and forced to have abortions.
The #MeToo movement gave them the courage to start speaking out.

Christopher Livesay:
“So, nuns are forced by the fathers of these children, by priests [who raped them,] to have abortions?”

Lucetta Scaraffia (through translator):
Yes. And these poor women now have to live with the anguish of having committed a mortal sin. We have many testimonies from nuns who had more than one abortion in this way.”
